I don't get this point. Why do we need to play around with sonames?
Doesn't this bring more problems and maintainer burden then letting the
consumer recompile reverse dependencies? Are the libs all ABI
compatible?
All libs are supposed to be ABI compatible. For soname look at my
previous post.
If you want to interchange libblas on the fly you need to have the same
soname
for the library.
